How do you access the stop playback feature?

Go to the Now playing status screen, hover over one of the items being played and chose “Stop”.

Hmmmm… it isn’t working for me. I am using PLEX on Microsoft Edge.

Version 2.13.0  
Server Version 1.4.2.3400

I put my mouse over the playing item and nothing pops up that allows me to stop it. What browser are you using?

This is what happens with I hover over the playing item.

NOTE: The new interface is initially available only on the hosted Plex Web App ([https://plex.tv/web](https://plex.tv/web)). It will be included in the web app bundled with Plex Media Server in server releases in the future.

That’s the problem. You have to access the interface differently until a future release.

EXCELLENT: The update just pushed today. This is now a feature of the non-web client. 🙂
